additional amounts for highly enrolled classes during the Summer Sessions and Winter
Term.

$100/credit hour

25 – 29 students

$200/credit hour

30 or more students

$300/credit hour

Example:

A full-time facultyteaches Eng 100 in May Session. There are 27 students enrolled on May 17 (2nd day of class). A SIA correction will be submitted to pay the faculty an additional
$600 ($200 x 3 credit hours.) The faculty’s total compensation for the class would
be $5,100.

Enrollment will be based on the number of students on the second day of class.

effort). For example, grant work is considered time and effort therefore the faculty
would not be allowed to teach the full 12 hours.
